Nothing beyond looking them up on kenpom, torvick, or stats on ESPN.

They shoot 3s well and don't turn the ball over

I’d like to see our D improve. We can’t jut depend on our high scoring to win.

We're leading the country in ppg.

Their center is 6-10, 238 lbs. Their top 7 guys in minutes are 4 guards, two 6'-8" forwards, and the center. They haven't played anyone of note.

Coleman.

Starting time is probably an ESPN thing ... they own the sports industry, you know

They should handle Clemson easily. PJ Hall is their best player and likely mid 2nd round NBA prospect. 6'8" guy that can shoot the 3.

@Tide&True, CNO talked mainly about their focus on defense:

We’re trying to get the defense figured out ... But our defense is still nowhere close to where we need it to be. I think everyone’s seen our offense is good enough to win every game if our defense was where it’s supposed to be. So until we get our defense to where it needs to be, that’s going to be the main point of emphasis moving forward...

... So I think sometimes it’s just guys got to determine that they’re going to take the defensive end seriously, that it’s a big deal to them, that it’s important for us to win that they play well on defense and they can just change their mindset.
“As soon as we get about eight or nine guys with that mindset, I think we’ll be pretty good. I thought we had a good practice today. I’m going to keep saying it and we’re going to try to keep coaching it, but you’ve got to get seven, eight, maybe nine guys locked in on defense, you got a chance to be good...

Good luck tonight - let's show the ACC they're second fiddle!

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I hate these late games. It seems to happen to us a lot.

Kentucky bumping us again. Says available on the app but anyone have an idea if it'll start on News or some such?

 

[ROCKEE]

RTR!

 

[Tide&True]

App just says it’s about to begin

 

[CrimsonTitles]

Not sure why we're getting bumped for a blowout. If it were Bama blowing someone out, we would be relegated to ESPN news for the end. I believe it happened last year, actually.

 

[Tide&True]

It’s on
